Y ''fiasagm: Fen farvi lll i ,ermee To ali wenn@ mag/nome/m Be it known that l, PAU-r Bimini@ engineer, e subnet of theveimen Emperor, residing ai 'iinssieidori iimnioh Prussia, in the Empire of Germany, here" invented cer lein new and useful Improvemenis in Beiliieerings, .of -whioh ehe i'oilowing is e Specilieinlio-n. Y

My invention relates to bnil-,bee-ringe Wih. tivo or more .-nairsqo radially divided bellrnce ringe and .eonsieis in `the vpzuimihrr een struction vof ihe haii-rece ringe .with the on ject of prevemuiing, their vreleive..dispiacemeni. iiieeordingl to my invention therings aire provided wi'h annuler projeeiions zin-il recesses adapted to engage yeither @zich nher' or corresponding recesses und projections or e @ermee-tion member, 'this being aeoonn plished with or without `the additional use of reciprocal clamping ecion. This method of construction contemplates innnnfeet'ure ihe rings, in quantity, by bending ihe rings from straight hars. ln dealing; with pen tieulzuly powerful stresses which might have e special tendency to cause relative displace ment of the bali-mee rings, u, further Safeguard is provided by having interengnging paris of adjoining' hall-race rings connected by pins, bolts or tde iike, in :L manner which permits them to he remlily detachable.

in the drawingsr-Figures l and i2 show the Seperate paris of bzilhraee hars'be'ore :ind :lier oending, Fig. 3 two complementary inner hall race rings in section, Fig. Li is a `eide elevation of Snell :L lmll-lmnring. Figs. 5 sind 6 show o, modified form of hall I hearing in section and in side elevation, re

speetively.

As has already heen mentioned the balirziee sections :1re suitably produced hy bending slreighi bnrS, which :is is Shown in Figs. l :ind 2 ore later-:illy provided with :i (groove und feather. .ln ille bearing according to liigs. 3 and A the bars have heen bent So ilmi, the two inner hall-moorings 7) and c nre in two sections, the reife grooves o lie-- ing plm'ed on i'lie peripi'iery. in this ease the mee rings L and f; are provided on their facing sides with an annular :Feather d, und groove j respectively. ln joining `the two rings and c the feather al engages the groove f and owingte Suitable formation is fixed so that reieive displacelnen; of elle `ball-rings is prevened. ln joining the rings r b and care should be taken hei: l'he joinis provided: 'with 'and are heid by an :inonder easing g 'of the oei/emi iii-ng segzmenis me broken 1n known manner, in, euch n wey mov, for example, he seen in Fie'. e, he `here rei resented in ifiigxfl e e heirt'in inwoner shown in Fig. 2, indi-rin in the form need, for innen-neming@ ire produced. ring on annuler feather al nnnnllelr .groene f of ring: he joinis or whioh engages 7a. Ohvjfonely also in this the meen one brel segments nre nr' l lili; is noi necessary iinit bhe feet-her find groove of the intiarenwneing ring Shell orm n nliermpted n mine, ns they may mierrnpied in er's, preferably, however, in such a wey 'theft the groove of one rene segment engage@ fire feathers of two jointed ring segmensfoif he adjoining ring, in which ease feather end groove will have to errangec nliernaeiy on arieh of the rings. 1n this wey' eeeh Segmentof e farm ring; ln'iide infosegnnn of ihe edIioini-ngg rino; LoEiii-ziher.

modified form of the unil wearing is illnsrned in Figs. 5 and inner/tion iind in side eievniion refypeetiveiy. The rings e and e are .ii-inde in ivm or more segments y; which is divided axially into iw() semi-circuler parte. The outside feces of iihe rings :ire beveled in order inzit they may not he wihdrawn radiuily from dove-foiled grooves in the eeeing fin order iionnie the paris 5,0 and j) Jnwo huiver; of 'the ringe are inserted into erich haii of the easing, when ihe wo ini/ier are pineed faire lio' face :1nd ille seg ments of therin,ggs slid dong over the now eompletedr^`iirenmiierence of the easing; in Such ii vigy filmt the joints g of he rings are breken not, only in relation to euch other but also in reizition le the joints 'i, of the easing y?. nos, rigid connection is established withonilthe ern dorment oi' :mv

" i when me governi ringg, Y :immers e f1 eerdere with radial bores,

if, vis immeteriai te he subject of this in meier; whether the rings be subdivided me@ We or inte mere segments. 'For Very iere size haii-bearings it may be ativan? i gemis 'abo maire the rings oise greab numr ef The consumption of materiel, ha iaeving regard io' the cest price, hither@ pas e, limit te the size of ibeerings ue longer needs consideration, Cees-e seeording to this invention tileseve .mivsegments of the bail-rings are bent' me straight meerei and can easiy be werked ey means ef suitable devices.

This invention' may be used wiih part-ieuer udventagein ceses where it is difeuit er eitegether impossibile to ,push the' bail ieerngn' to .the shaft, es for example y 'with 10mg axles, cranked or bent shafts, mank-gear and the iike. As compared with other bibeerings the subject of tmeinveii-` tion possesses the eventege of cheepness. Besides the elreey mentioned eonomy in mater-island labor there is the furher'faet that part ef the stationary bali' rece strucn ture, which is not under pressure but mereiy serves te recenvey the balls to the pressure surface may be made .of e cheaper metal. han hitherto.

-Heving new partcuariy deseriieed and ascertained the nature' of my seid inventien rings having 'fe-ber eri/i groove eene perions for uni-sing sarei vof 'the segments ef one ring being we regisry with the jeins ef *Jiie segmeire e1 the other ring whereby iiie connecting per tions of e segxueii of one ring be eeeneet-ed wii e, piureijf ef segneiiis eti? @Lire other ring, 'substaniely es eserbe,
